<p>The <samp class="file">gcc</samp> directory is configured with an Autoconf-generated
script <samp class="file">configure</samp>.  The <samp class="file">configure</samp> script is generated
from <samp class="file">configure.ac</samp> and <samp class="file">aclocal.m4</samp>.  From the files
<samp class="file">configure.ac</samp> and <samp class="file">acconfig.h</samp>, Autoheader generates the
file <samp class="file">config.in</samp>.  The file <samp class="file">cstamp-h.in</samp> is used as a
timestamp.
